UND1983

Is that this years excuse? Sounds good I guess.

UND has serious, chronic "Semi-Final" issues.

Great effort.

Is this for real or are you trying to get us going?

And as I tend to do, spoke too early and was wrong. Apologies to ladies. Finish it off!

Just win baby.

Nothing like the AD investing in hoops, like we all ask for, and then they both lose at home. This game should be winnable.

There was more than 1,200 there. Is this one of those deals like NCAA football playoffs where you want to under report? But since its a bid deal I don't know why that would be.

A classic I read was where, "NDSU suspended Dupree for 6 games". No, he quit on the team for four games, came back, and was suspended for two, then was put in vs. IPFW due to injury. Guess what he did and teaching him a lesson wasn't as important as needing him vs. the Dons.

Didn't the REA have something to do with the actual money being used for the bid? If so they would keep all concession revenue as well.

When looking around the crowd and comparing to past games it seemed like more than that but who knows.

A desperation, last second heave is not what we are talking about. They had a chance to win it with a legitimate play out of a timeout and didn't get a shot off.

I don't think anybody who actually watched the Weber game was upset Q didn't get the ball. He had two guys draped all over him intentionally, which surprised the hell out of UND. You go with the hot hand to win the game, IMO. It can change game to game but it is usually the same 2-3 guys. This game it was definitely Geno AT HOME. He was spectacular on the drive last night.

Those were good looks, agreed. Hookers three in OT looked like it was gonna be good. I just can't get over the fact they had a chance to win it in regulation and never got a shot off. I will eventually move on.

Quote from Jones: "You can’t control whether the ball goes in but you can control the quality of looks you get.” Or don't get. It was a fun, fun game to watch. But, not being able to finish in tight games has been going on for how long now? At home, on the road, neutral site...doesn't matter. Maddening.

It wasn't a hip check. Shanks met him in the lane and he rolled his ankle after they hit. It was about as harmless as it gets.

There were several "Let's Go Hawks" chants going on in 2nd half, correct?

My issue with the play-calling at the end of regulation is that they didn't even get a shot off! They had 24 secs on shot clock I believe (?) to setup the play. The problem is they went straight to Hooker, who is was in jail the entire game. He was locked down by those Irvine guards for 90% of the time, it was pretty impressive. Why would Hooker suddenly get himself free and beat them off the dribble now with the game on the line? Sure enough, he got locked up, had to pass and nobody else was ready or willing. Shot clock violation on the last possession to win the game. That literally NEVER happens. Not even a shot? Geno was embarrassing their guards all game and is a Top 4 guard in the league at home. Why would they not let him do what he did all game and beat his guy off the dribble, maybe get fouled on the way in, or drop a floater in the lane or dish to open guy on baseline after help came over?

He is going to love that he got "hate mail" and tell everyone on radio today. That was nothing more than a shock jock type of interview. Tried to be funny and light but in turn it ruined the interview when people actually wanted to get to know the guy.

SD, he said nobody cared. I said 1,263 people cared enough to come out.

Judging by the crowd a few people cared. #butrpi?

Never should have lost that game. So many chances. Once again, can't perform in OT when each possession is magnified.

Jones forces it to Hooker again to win the game and nothing. Hooker has been locked up all game. Let Geno win it in the drive, he has been killing his guy.

I think the UC IRVINE players have argued every foul call against them. Ridiculous

Shanks! Drop step off glass then a dunk too!
